# Quickstart

This quickstart gets you to your first deploy as fast as possible. We'll skip most of the configuration — you can refine things later once you have something running.

> [!TIP]
>
> **Estimated time: 5 minutes.** All you need is an account and a project to deploy.

## Steps

1. **Create your workspace**

   Sign in and create a new workspace. The workspace name appears in URLs and email notifications, so pick something recognisable.
   ```
   yourcompany
   ```
2. **Connect a source**

   Link a repository from your version control provider, or upload a project directly.
   #### Repository
   Click **Connect repository**, authenticate with your provider, and select the repository to import. The platform will detect your framework automatically.
   #### Upload
   Drag and drop a project folder, or use the CLI:
   ```bash
   platform deploy ./my-project
   ```
   #### Template
   Browse the template gallery and click **Use template**. A new project will be created from the template in your workspace.
3. **Configure your build**

   Most projects work with the auto-detected settings. If yours doesn't, override them in **Project settings → Build**.
   ```yaml
   build:
     command: npm run build
     output: dist/
     node: 20
   ```
4. **Deploy**

   Hit **Deploy**. Your project will build and go live at a generated subdomain. You can promote it to production or add a custom domain at any time.

   > First builds typically take 1–3 minutes. Subsequent builds are faster because dependencies are cached.
